simbasmom Posted November 30, 2011 #2 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Just sent an Email to my son, who's music director on another Princess ship. Hopefully, I can get an answer for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shoalwater Posted November 30, 2011 #3 Share Posted November 30, 2011 Can anyone tell me who is playing on the Grand Princess now -- the bands, the music director, anything?thanks, debby Arny G, a fabulous piano player/vocalist for that venue. We got to know Arny well on the Grand's recent TA repositioning earlier in November, and spent many an evening along with a group of "regulars" having fun, playing name that tune, and the like. Arny's a very personable fellow and will add to your musical enjoyment. I can't say who the other bands in the Wheelhouse and Explorers are at present. The bands that played in those venues on the TA did not fit my bill, so we gravitated to Crooners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jkocpa Posted December 1, 2011 #4 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Totally agree about Arny G being the best entertainer on the ship. The music director is Sara (I think her last name is Dawes). She is a fabulous pianist and very nice. I believe that the band Opus is going to be on the Grand for many months still. The other band was Phoenix Rising. I also will say that the drummer with the house band was terrific, but I don't know his name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lovetocruisenow Posted December 1, 2011 Author #5 Share Posted December 1, 2011 By any chance is your son Gordon Hough? We've sailed with him on several cruises and love him. Debby Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Momma Mojito Posted December 1, 2011 #7 Share Posted December 1, 2011 Thanks so much for the info. I don't know Opus or Sara but we LOVE Phoenix Rising. We too have cruised with Phoenix Rising a few times... they have given us many entertaining evenings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CRLess Posted December 2, 2011 #8 Share Posted December 2, 2011 Thanks so much for the info. I don't know Opus or Sara but we LOVE Phoenix Rising. I was on the Grand last week and was quite excited to see that Phoenix Rising was on board. However, I do not think this is the Phoenix Rising everyone remembers. My recollection of them was that they were about a 4-5 piece band and somewhat younger. This band was a 3 piece band and they looked like they card holding members of AARP...I stopped into the Wheelhouse one night and didn't stay long.
